Article about first (publically acknowledged) test of new AGM-183 hypersonic missile

(sorry for not posting a thumbnail, having trouble with file extension using my phone, 21st century rrrgh.)


This looks very conventional, 4FNC. Fins might be a little too small, I have not modelled it in OR to check the stability. So, maybe a nose weight needed.

The nose cone is an interesting shape. Getting that close ought to be good for scale points.
